ingredients

• 1 tsp. salt or pepper to taste
• 1 tsp. ground allspice
• 1 tsp. packed brown sugar
• 1 tsp. onion powder
• 1/2 tsp. dried minced garlic
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

• 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp. dried thyme leaves
• 1 (2 to 3 lb.) whole chicken (cut into pieces)
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil

directions

1. Make the jerk rub by combining the salt, allspice, brown sugar, onion powder, garlic, nutmeg,
   pepper, ginger, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, & thyme. Toss the chicken pieces with the spice
   mixture, then cover & marinate in the refrigerator 2 to 4 hours.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Pour the vegetable oil into a 9×13 inch baking dish.
3. Place the chicken pieces skin-side up into the baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for
   1 hour 20 minutes, until no longer pink near the bone. Turn the oven on to broil, & cook until
   the skin crisps, 2 to 5 minutes.
